Abstract
The present invention relates to fungi, which do not produce proteases. The fungi of the invention are useful as hosts for the production of proteins susceptible of proteolytic degradation by the proteases usually produced, and the invention consequently encompasses processes for the production of proteins of interest in high yields by using the fungi of the invention. The invention also comprises methods for producing such fungi and DNA constructs to be used in these methods.
